Chip, why kill the messenger if you dont like the message

Because the messenger copied a message from a priveate area and placed
it in a public area.

Where was this stated Chip.Why would D. Black Nixon post on a public
forum if she wanted this private?

She posted a request to vist a private forum. Nothing wrong with that.
Though had the next post not disclosed this initial private info,
there would have been some non-SSA folks wondering about what's going
on. At that point I'm sure an SSA member would have obliged and
reposted the message here anyway.

. Given what's been disclosed
and the ruckus that ensued, it's probably better if this and future
Updates were published on a public area of the SSA site.

Now you are contradicting yourself.

The Excom decided to initially notify the membership with an incomplete
set of facts. A few days later they followed up with more info.

What Chip is saying is that maybe the Excom should have put the info in
a public area in the first place, so the conspiracy theorists among us
would have less to argue about
